Ok,

I have latest updated version of firefox. I have hp510 laptop with 1 GB of RAM. My problem is that firefox is really good but uses too much of RAM(100 MB or more) while in usage.

How can I tweak firefox to use less RAM, as my system gets hammered. Thank you.

Most of the time you just need to get more memory installed if you have other applications open along with multiple windows and tabs open in Firefox.

thanks.

I opened my extensions, and all are disabled, except ADBLOCK. I usually clean my history on weekly basis, sometimes even on daily basis.

When I use firefox, most of the time ther is no other application in use by me (I don't encounter all those back apps for the system). Most of the time, I have only 2 windows open , very rare there more.

The issue is that even at starting of firefox session I can see in task manager there is minimum 95 MB or charge, without any work done by me. I usually have charge about 370-390 MB of RAM, but when I open Firefox it gets me up to 500 or more.
